Botting is getting out of control

jumper··2 votes·652 views

I play vs AI almost every day. I'm an older player and my skill is not as good as the younger players. So I choose to play AI. Just to have fun. This whole week I have been reporting players for botting and it progressively getting worst. I just got out of a summoner's rift vs AI that had 3 bots. This needs to stop. How does Riot continue to allow this to keep happening. It's ruining the mode of the game I like to play.

How do you know they were bots?

Same problem here.

They run heal/ghost and say things like 'WTF' 'Push' randomly during the game and just run down the lanes and continuously feed.

I get an average of 3 bots per game. If you play late at night you will get 4 bots and you'll have to 1v5 win the game.

Wait, to clarify, by bots you mean programs that optimally run the game, right?

That is scripting. Botting is just something that auto levels an account without any interaction by a player. Playing optimally isn't something a Bot program does.

Accounts are botted only if they are being planned to be sold later. Which is against the ToS. Scripters look for an unfiar advantage by having a program in place that can override what they are doing to give the best possible outcome. Usually, but even the scripting programs can freak out if too much info is being processed.

I see. Have you considered playing Customs while this is an issue?

I get so many bots in TT Co op VS AI. Sometimes I just want a quick "First Win of the Day" and i end up with 5 bots instead of 3. -_-
